Assessment of road accident risk in India under a type-2 picture fuzzy framework with novel distance measures.. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of road accidents in India by using official government data sets from 53 major cities across 28 states. This research is conducted under a Type-2 picture fuzzy environment with advanced aggregation operators such as the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, hamy mean, Einstein weighted operator, and Aczel-Alsina operator. To enhance decision-making under uncertainty, a novel distance measure is proposed and theoretically validated. Five prominent distance-based multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods such as TOPSIS, VIKOR, WASPAS, COD…
